Multimedia CD almost ready; need a few more seedplanters

[garybeck]

I've been working on this project way too long and it's finally almost ready to be released.

If you haven't heard anything about it yet, it's a CD that has a lot of videos and documents about the election on it. It will be distributed for free, primarily by people making copies on their own and passing them on. The CD is plastered with reminders to make copies and includes a "voluntary pledge" for every person to make at least 3 copies.

I am still looking for a few more "seedplanters," that is, folks who will help kick off the release by agreeing to make at least 20 copies.

If you are interested, please email me at gary(at)solarbus.org or use DU PM.

If you would like to preview CD here's a link:

So, if you can help with this and are interested in being a seedplanter, all you have to do is agree to make 20 copies and give them away. Please contact me if you would like to be a seedplanter!

1. I will be a seed planter, AND distribute it via Bit Torrent.

I will distribute 20 of these...each week!
Cd-r media is really cheap these days...

Maybe consider lowering the contrast of the background a bit or perhaps change it entirely...the pattern is just too busy, and detracts from the text, IMO.

4. response

OK, I'll look into lightening the background a bit.

as far as bit torrent goes, you may have noticed that on the promo page there's a reference to "we're working on it." as soon as we get the CD out there, that's my next goal, because I really don't want to get hit with a bunch of requests to mail free copies of the CD. Thanks for your offer to help, because I don't know anything about bit torrent!

3. Farmer auto here, "seedplanter", says "THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM"

Gary has done an exceptional job of providing a thorough and engaging set of resources, all in one place, for the true election fraud/voting rights advocate. From videos to handouts to links, this CD has it all, and much, much more (I'm auditioning for a place on the liner notes).

Seriously, Gary could use your help and it's a great cause. I just finished my "beta" work and I'm going back for more.

Thanks Gary, this is an empowering information package

6. Two questions Gary

1) Check this one out. If there's space left, and time to add it - this would be an excellent addition:

2) I would like to help, but I don't have a DVD burner. Is there a way I can burn copies on my CD-R and distribute them?

PM sent.

[garybeck]

7. yes, this is a CD not a DVD

so you can definitely be a seedplanter. PM me if intersted.

I'll check out the flash tonight. right now i'm in a place where it would be inappropriate to turn on something like that, if you know what I mean :hide:

the CD is almost completely full, so there is barely any room for anything more.

8. Great! I got on my overalls, and I'm ready to start planting.

Suggestion: Ask organik how to set it up so we can download our copy to burn to CD. This will save a lot on shipping, etc. Also, it will give us another option for distribution. Peer to peer, possibly from my web host, etc.

I hoped you liked that flash - very well-done, humorous and educational.

9. after the big "launch" we'll get the download going

the first batch of seedplantings will go out through the mail. after that I will definitely work on a way to make it downloadable. still haven't watched the flash, i'll try to do it tonight :)
